lyrics
The life you’re leading loathsome
Saves you from a funeral pyre
Ignatius kerosene to the pile of leaves
They’re holding every kind of friendly fire
Regrets are more esteemed when the ride is through
We made it through the breach
Grieve your twisted gothic shame for me
Until another scene when it’s obviously weird
Perhaps you can’t explain this one to me
You talk about this like it’s ancient
Kubla Khan proclaimed to let your fate become your faith
How do you get to be my good friend?
Why do I get to be your guilt friend?
How did I get to be your good friend?
Why did you get to be my guilt friend?
The price of preening always gets you into other binds
Or lest you roam the streets your advice to me is only
Detrimental oversight
Forget your obsolete and entitled frames of mind
Your blatant overreach leaves you with no groundlessness to gain
Maybe next year it’ll start to settle down
You don’t think you can wait for that long
What about this - maybe you were wrong
You want me to be here, whatever the cost
How did you get to be my good friend?
Why did I get to be your guilt friend?
How do I get to be your good friend?
Why do you get to be my guilt friend?

Anything by him is worth checking if not owning. A true musical whiz with seemingly infinite hook-filled melodies and killer songs. Start anywhere and this is a good one. Jennifer Jupiter
The songs on this new album are either smooth but tight or rock your world. Above and Beyond their already outstanding sound, "Take out the Poison" will enter your inner being with songs that penetrate your soul through lyrics and music that are uniquely their own. These songs are the most diverse yet similar from their other albums. Listen to their songs they are awesome. The Bye Bye Blackbirds continue to exude their special sound of infinite talent. They have done it again and I believe always will; as if there was ever any doubt about these gifted musicians. Rock on Gentlemen! "Take out the Poison" is a winner ! I am me
